2011 Renault Scenic 1.5L Diesel · LT11 DKL

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. Although the most recent test on 19 November 2025 at 87,896 miles resulted in an initial failure, the vehicle passed immediately upon re-test with no defects recorded. This suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly. Prior to this, the vehicle demonstrated a consistently clean record with no recorded failures or advisories across the previous three annual tests. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,860 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between the February 2022 test at 27,838 miles and the January 2023 test at 48,910 miles, where the car covered over 21,000 miles in a single year. Since then, the usage has slowed down again. The low overall annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-use patterns can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid oxidation if the vehicle sits stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related degradation despite the low mileage. While the record shows no recurring structural corrosion or brake issues, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check of suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers. Given the recent failure in November 2025, it is prudent to verify the specific reason for that initial failure to ensure it was a simple fix rather than a developing mechanical fault. Checking for rust on the brake discs and calipers is also advisable, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface pitting.
